Microsoft SQL 2008

Question

I'm trying to connect to Microsoft SQL 2008. I'm using "sqljdbc_1.2 driver". I'm having trouble getting the right "jdbc driver" and "jdbc url".
For jdbc url, I tried: "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost" but there was errors.
run-single:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerXADataSource
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

Java Result: 1
Does anybody know the right "jdbc driver" and "jdbc url" I should use?
Thank you.

The stack trace provides information - use it.
For jdbc url, I tried: "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost" but there was errors.
The connection string has nothing to do with it.
java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:169)The forName() however does.

Until you load the class you can't connect.
Googling would provide the correct driver name.
